Pont del Diable, Tarragona: Visiting the Roman Aqueduct
The Pont del Diable is Tarragona's Les Ferreres aqueduct, a two-tier Roman arcade on the N-240 towards Lleida, roughly 4km from the city centre. Bus lines 5 and 85 stop at Pont del Diable; walkers need to budget a couple of hours each way.
Roman Circus Tarragona: Visiting the Circ Romà Site
The Roman Circus in Tarragona is a first-century chariot-racing track that now runs beneath the medieval streets. You come for the vaulted tunnels, the Praetorium tower and the amphitheatre next door, not for a stadium view. Here is what survives, what it costs and how to fit it into a Roman half-day.
Tarragona Amphitheatre: Visiting the Roman Arena
The Tarragona Amphitheatre puts a Roman arena on the seafront, with the arena floor, podium wall and rock-cut seating still legible. Here is where it is, how to reach it, what the remains tell you and how to fit it into a morning or afternoon in Tarragona.
Tarragona Cathedral: What to See and How to Visit
Tarragona Cathedral sits at the top of the old town, built over a Roman temple to Augustus and layered with Romanesque and Gothic stone. Here is what the visit includes, how long to allow, how to climb up from the station and where to eat afterwards.
